While it may not be essential to our physical survival, in many ways entertainment defines us. Indeed, 82% say that ‘without entertainment in my life I wouldn’t be me’ and an impressive 93% see entertainment as essential to health and happiness. From music to TV to film to live shows, it can feel as if we’re drowning in entertainment content and choices and yet, paradoxically, many feel as if they aren’t getting enough of it. 56% say they rarely feel entertained these days and half feel regularly under-stimulated by their environment. It’s also true to say that not all entertainment is created equal. While digital experiences proliferate, if Americans are asked to choose between live and digital experiences, 66% would choose live. Hardly surprising perhaps when 83% feel we spend too much time looking at screens today. According to consumers, live entertainment confers numerous superior benefits, including great memories, being immersed in the experience, the change of scene, sensory stimulation and quality time with loved ones. When asked about the most memorable kind of entertainment experience, the most highly rated experiences are ‘a trip with friends and family’ followed by “live music,” which are indicative of the power and lasting impact of collective and group entertainment. And yet, despite all of this, the data indicates that we should be making more time to experience live entertainment. 2 in 5 can’t remember the last time they went to a live show and 25% have never been to a music concert! The majority say that in an ideal world, they would attend 8 live music concerts a year and yet at most they 2 in 5 can’t remember the last time they went attend 2. Similarly, the average American says they would ideally go to 5 comedy to a live show and 25% have never been to a music concert! shows a year and yet they barely make it to 1. The Truth about Entertainment whitepaper 3 While the vast majority see entertainment as essential, it’s not something we consistently make time for. Half of people point to a lack of time and too many responsibilities as being their major entertainment barriers and 70% wish they had more time to dedicate to entertainment. Depressingly, 62% say that when they have Cont. free time the most important thing is to catch up on errands and 23% say that when they have too much fun they feel guilty! INTRODUCTION While there are several challenges the entertainment industry must overcome, from lack of prioritization to access, the future is looking remarkably bright. We actually see a strong reciprocal relationship between digital and live emerging, with 59% saying that the more time they spend on a screen, the more they crave live experiences. Meanwhile, smart technology integration into the live experience itself can bring an added a layer of immersion and adventure. Interviewed experts predict a new generation of innovative experiences that will cater to audiences in new ways (think music festivals for the over 50s). Encouragingly, the majority of Americans believe that entertainment will be better in the future than it is today and this rises to 69% among Millennials, who are arguably already shaping the future of entertainment. METHODOLOGY In order to explore the multifaceted role that entertainment plays in our lives today, we designed a multistage methodology: DESK RESEARCH SURVEYING • 48 articles • 28 research reports • 11 books • 9 publications EXPERT ROUNDTABLE With academic and nonacademic experts in entertainment, drawn from a range of different disciplines. QUANTITATIVE SURVEY Conducted in the US, China and Japan, with a 2,000-person-strong, nationally representative sample in each market. QUALITATIVE RESEARCH In the form of 5-day-long mobile ethnographies conducted with 40 people in Los Angeles, New York, Houston and Atlanta. As part of the research respondents were The majority of Americans believe that tasked with attending a live entertainment event and journaling their experience entertainment will be better in the future than it is today. before, during and after the event. The Truth about Entertainment whitepaper 4 1 DEFINING ENTERTAINMENT TODAY Before we can start to explore the role that entertainment plays in our lives, we need to take a step back and ask ourselves the question ‘what is entertainment?’ Entertainment is a big word. In many ways it’s too big to be contained by a single definition. And while what it does for us on a human level might be relatively unchanged throughout history...what entertainment looks like, and what types of entertainment are particularly resonant, is constantly evolving. If we ask the Internet, entertainment encompasses everything from film, TV, radio (mass media) to theatre, concerts, festivals, magic (live entertainment) to fairs, museums, galleries (exhibition entertainment) and gaming, dining, athletics (participatory entertainment). Entertainment is anything you love doing—knitting, painting, driving a car. It’s whatever catches your eye and makes time go by. – Brian, Atlanta, 19 Yet beyond the different categories and activities that fall under the entertainment banner, it’s also interesting to consider how experts and academics have defined entertainment; what criteria must a particular activity meet to be defined as truly entertaining? For example, one of the world’s oldest philosophers, Aristotle, argued that there are 3 core components to anything that qualifies as entertainment:1 1 2 3 Mimesis: It helps us Mythos: It can be Catharsis: It offers Aristotle argued that there are 3 core components explore life, free of recognized as distinct us an emotional to anything that qualifies as entertainment consequences from the chaos of real life release The Truth about Entertainment whitepaper 5 But what if we ask real people in the world today? What does entertainment mean to them? 1 cont. According to the respondents in our research, at the highest level, entertainment is equated with fun, escapism and stress management. Which certainly offers some DEFINING crossover with Aristotle’s original thesis! ENTERTAINMENT TODAY TOP 3 DEFINITIONS FOR ‘ENTERTAINMENT’ It’s about passing the It’s an escape from It’s a way of relaxing time in a fun way my everyday routine to deal with stress 66% 61% 59% However, it’s also true that not all entertainment is created equal. By taking a deeper look at the data we can identify 6 important dimensions (which we call 6Es) that the best entertainment should aspire to deliver against. ESCAPISM: Does it help me briefly forget the challenges of real life? 61% say they use entertainment to escape the everyday routine ENDURING: Does it stay with me long after the curtain falls? 56% say the #1 benefit of live entertainment is that it is memorable EMPATHY: Does it bring me closer to others? 52% use entertainment as a way to bond with others or meet new people EXPERIENTIAL: Does it engage my senses in some way? 47% enjoy the sensory stimulation associated with live entertainment EDUCATION: Does it impart knowledge, or expand my world? 36% look to entertainment to expose them to new ideas and cultures EMOTIONAL: Does it make me feel something? 30% look to experience ‘strong emotions’ when being entertained When we ask people about the types of experiences that are most top-of-mind when they think about entertainment, it’s also interesting to note that 4 of the top 5 are out-of-home experiences and 3 of the top 5 are live entertainment experiences. 61% say they use entertainment to escape the everyday routine. The Truth about Entertainment whitepaper 6 Q. Which of the following activities would you describe 1 cont. as entertainment? DEFINING ENTERTAINMENT TODAY Watching movies Watching movies Attending a Attending a live show in a movie theater at home music concert or performance 75% 74% 68% 66% Attending a live Playing games just for Dining at a Visiting a sporting event fun (including video) restaurant museum 55% 53% 51% 46% Pool or beach Reading Going dancing Playing games for a activities a book or bars/nightclubs chance to win money 45% 43% 39% 35% Shopping Scrolling through Exercising/ Receiving a at a mall social media sporting activities spa treatment 32% 28% 27% 20% When entertainment meets (even some of) the 6Es above, it can have a major impact 75% describe watching movies in a movie on our lives. This framing helps us to explore the powerful role that entertainment theater as entertainment. can and does play in our lives today. The Truth about Entertainment whitepaper 7 As with the US, the role of entertainment in Japan and China is primarily about escapism, relaxation and spending time with loved ones. However, key over-indices reveal nuances to this story in these two markets. 1 cont. DEFINING CHINA ENTERTAINMENT For the Chinese, entertainment has a role in social cachet. TODAY Nearly 1 in 3 Chinese say that it’s a way of being in the know and taking part in popular culture (compared to 23% of Americans and 17% of Japanese). The notion of pop culture, so familiar in the West, is relatively new in China, where public entertainment was tightly controlled by the government and censorship limited the extent of self-expression. With economic liberalization, greater exposure to global entertainment (such as Hollywood and K-pop), and seamless dissemination through digital channels, there has been a renaissance in celebrity culture and the related industry of gossip magazines, fashion blogs, beauty influencers, advertising and so on.

  • Meta-Television in Entourage, Extras and 30 Rock Introduction the Last Decade Has Seen a Number Of
    PREVIOUSLY ON “Cut the Shitcom”: Meta-television in Entourage, Extras and 30 Rock Toni Pape Introduction The last decade has seen a number of fictional TV series about television and film production. These television shows – including the ones to be analysed here: Entourage, Extras, and 30 Rock – relocate the process of creative revitalization in front of the camera. Meta-television, as I understand it here, then is television about the media industry and, more particularly, about the production and quality of film and television itself.1 The three above-mentioned television programs present contemporary writers, actors, directors, etc. working on movies and television shows. Especially Extras and 30 Rock offer a critical overview of how television formats are produced, and they significantly do so in a period of time during which the working conditions for television-makers have fundamentally changed. In a most general sense, the criticism that these shows purport works on two levels. First, as we will see further on, there is an explicit criticism implied in the way the TV shows at hand present the making of a TV show. Thus, there is for instance Andy Millman, the protagonist of Extras about whom I will have more to say later on, who clearly states his dissatisfaction as a disillusioned actor/writer: ANDY: I wanna do something that I’m proud of. And I won’t be proud of shouting out catch phrases in a stupid wig and funny glasses. […] So basically, I’m not going to prostitute myself anymore or my work, ok? (Extras “Orlando Bloom”, 21’30”) In a very outspoken way, the programs in question take stock of television’s outworn creative standards and its resulting mediocrity.
